public virtual bool measure_disk_usage (FileMeasureFlags flags, Cancellable? cancellable, FileMeasureProgressCallback? progress_callback, out uint64 disk_usage, out uint64 num_dirs, out uint64 num_files) throws Error
Recursively measures the disk usage of this.
This is essentially an analog of the 'du' command, but it also reports the number of directories and non-directory files encountered ( including things like symbolic links).
By default, errors are only reported against the toplevel file itself. Errors found while recursing are silently ignored, unless
g_file_measure_report_any_error is given in flags.
The returned size, disk_usage, is in bytes and should be formatted with g_format_size in order to get something
reasonable for showing in a user interface.
progress_callback and progress_data can be given to request periodic progress updates while scanning. See the
documentation for FileMeasureProgressCallback for information about
when and how the callback will be invoked.
